Kaka Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I have been rebidding for weeks on Priceline (not Hotwire as this post suggests).My dates are checking in Sunday July 5, and checking out July 7th.I'd like a 4 star, willing to go to a 3.5 star if necessary.Anything about these dates that are spiking up the rates? Admittedly, I have been keeping my bidding relatively low (went as high as $82)I see the board has fluctuated in recent weeks from $60-90 for a 4 star.I currently have a b&b reserved in NOTL, and I really would like to cancel it in good time, so that the owner can rebook the room...but I obviously want something secured before I do that.Do you feel that I am best to wait until the last minute? My whole trip is planned and booked except for these dates, so I'm not exactly flexible on dates.What to do? Link to comment
